Does anyone else pass on middle names as well?

In my family all the males have the same middle name and the same goes for the females. When I told a friend this, she looked at my confused. I thought this was more common place, but I'm begining to think not so much. Does anyone else have this tradition in their families?

Kind of if you think about it.
My Sister and my Mom are kind of the same, Anne and Annette
I got the names of all my grandma's.
One of my kids got the middle name of his dad.
My Oldest Son got the Middle name of his Grandpa.
My Daughter not so much.
I need to ask this question?
In the states do you have to have a middle name I mean is it leagle?

My daughter has my mother's middle name, and my son has my father's middle name. Boy does DH's family HATE that lol But that is the way he preferred it to be and it makes my parents feel very special =)

In my family (on my dads side) all the men have their fathers first name and a middle name. In my grandpa's family (moms side) none of the kids had middle names at all.. He always said they were "too poor", as if names costed money haha

Every first born boy in my families middle name is William... Well, that was my long time exs name... so I went different... My mom went with Ts all for first names, and I'm doing Ys in the first and middle.
